@Ghost Does it come with a list of coders willing to make a non-dumpster fire oWoD MU? Will pay double for that.

This is a beautiful wiki!

@Ganymede

Most groups only have two out of Coding Skills, Long Term Motivation and Good Teamwork, and all of them are required in sufficient amounts to see a proper game built from ground up with all that is needed in the time it takes, imo.

@Thenomain I understand that desire, but... that doesn't tell me much. There are so many tribes in MUSHing that this is basically a way of saying 'People want to play with people they like'.

There are people who cannot stand anyone who doesn't play to theme.

There are people who cannot stand anyone who talks politics on OOC Rooms (fuck people who do this btw).

There are people who cannot stand anyone who has pretty wikis, or who talks in OOC, or who picks PB X or Order Y. Desc too much? Hate. Desc too little? Hate. Purple prose? Fuck you. TS? Oh, you lowly beast! It goes on forever. This community is nitpicky af.

Who is this magical staff who will have a healthy game, but can keep out "killjoys" and trolls? It is all way too idiosyncratic in my opinion, so I go with how things have always been: keep out the people who are universally reviled (Rex and co) and have a big enough game that people who hate each other don't have to interact with each other and can still have fun.

This is basically the MU community anyway.

@silverfox said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

I am REALLY sensitive to visual violence and gore. I just can't. Husband was watching 911 and I looked up just ONCE and burst into uncontrollable sobbing and still can't stop.

This sounds really crippling. Does this condition have a name?

Unpopular opinion: Generic CofD 2e game where the defining feature is that staff just kind of stay out of your way and let you play the game without metaplot or too much staff-lead politics and stuff. >.>

It's a fair opinion to have, but I have not seen this work in practice for longer than a few months.

Isn't this basically Fallcoast? I don't think people want metaplot as much as they want stable, massive alt-friendly places they can just have their own thing going on and meet new people that suit their fancy. A WoD-flavored Second Life sorta thing, and I say that without any prejudice. Would.

There is no coming back from what they have already spoiled and ruined.

Not a fan of the setting. Frozen New York felt more interesting, but not being North American, DC isn't as recognizable to me!

Otherwise a flawless demo so far.

Colorado was dope!

@faraday This game is WoD, but 'none of that weird theme' . Where are the WoD games? Where are the modern supernatural horror games? Nowhere. This game just found a starving player base after the fall of WoD. How hard is this to understand?

@thenomain

The hero we need!

@thenomain I have NO idea! I haven't been following close enough! I have nothing against one or the other either way. I always saw the Conspiracies as your Org and your worst enemy anyways!

At this rate we will need an apology section in this forum.

@coin Second Edition Hunter is already being written. It has sneak peeks posted on the OP site.

@goldfish I see your reasoning. The problem with what you do is that bad people will sometimes predate on good people like you, and actually hide behind you when stuff gets hot. I know finding people to RP with isn't always easy, but you will end up being abused, and that will hurt the community in the long run.

@botulism

That is a lesson that is hard to learn, but well worth learning.

This thread is yet another cautionary tale about the toxic superficiality that permeates most interactions in this hobby. There seems to be a real lack of nuance in how this is all dealt with.
